Jetstress tool for Exchange 2013

Greetings
I am upgrading the Exchange 2013 environment and want to run the Jetstress tool before putting the servers in production.
I have 2 Mailbox servers as member of DAG.
Please provide me inputs on below mentioned points:
1. As per microsoft recommendations, the Jetstress tool should be run before installing Exchange Server.
However, i have already installed Exchange server and done the CAS Virtual Directories configuration.
Is it possible if i can run Jetstress after installing Exchange Server.
2. Now, the Exchange is already installed. DO i need to run Jetstress on all DAG members.
Thanks in advance.

Hi 
Preferably, Jetstress testing should be performed before you install Exchange on the server. There are some well-known risks associated with running Jetstress on a machine with Exchange installed. If you use a version of Jet (ESE.DLL and ESEPERF.*) different
than the version installed with Exchange, the registration of the Jet database counters in the Jetstress install directory will broke the database counters for Exchange after Jetstress is removed. You may have to uninstall the existing Exchange Database Engine
counters before you run Jetstress, by running unlodctr ESE at a command prompt. However, you will still have to uninstall and reinstall the Exchange version of the Exchange Database Engine counters when testing is completed.
Summary - It is not advisable to run jetstress on a production exchange server which will lead to multiple complications.

  • Best Practice Analyzer for Exchange 2013

    Greetings,
    I have upgraded the messaging infrastructure from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
    I want to test the Health of the system through ExBPA for Exchange 2013.
    But i don't find any setup for Exchange 2013 like it was in 2010.
    I went through an article by Office365 community, according to which for In-premises Exchange also we need to have office 365 account (can use trial account also) to get the downloader file for ExBPA 2013.
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/deploy/office-365-best-practices-analyzer-for-exchange-server-2013.aspx
    But to run the setup the servers needs to be connected to internet.
    And, i don't want to expose my environment to internet in any condition.
    Somebody, please suggest me if there is any setup available so that i can install directly without exposing to internet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Exchange 2013.
    Exchange Server 2013 doesn't come with ExBPA for health check. This might help
    http://exchangeserverpro.com/powershell-script-health-check-report-exchange-2010/
    Apart from that you can run these commands too
    Get-ServerHealth -Identity Exchange2013ServerName
    Test-ServiceHealth

  • EXMON "exchange server user monitor" for Exchange 2013?

    Hello,
    it Looks like EXMON is not supported for Exchange 2013. Is this correct or can i use it with Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 (CU6++)  ?
    Is there any alternative to check high log growth rate to see which user is responsable for this?
    Thanks for Feedback.
    best,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Yes, ExMon is not supported for exchange 2013.
    Except the suggestion above, here is an exclusive application for you reference, it could retrieve statistics for all or selected mailboxes in a specified database and server, it may give you some help:
    Exchange Server Mailbox Statistics Tool - v1.6.2
    The tool retrieves mailbox statistics which includes Folder Count, Total Items, Associated Items, Deleted Items, Total Items Size, Deleted Items Size, Oldest Item Date, Newest Item Date, Items Age, Mailbox Age and Quota details. It also includes an additional
    option named "Archive Statistics Planner" which will let you search mailboxes and provide statistics report with specific dates.

  • Configuring Lync Server 2013 to be a partner Application for Exchange 2013

    Hello Guys,
    I just want to share my experience while configuring Lync server 2013 to be a partner Application for exchange 2013 sever. 
    As mentioned on technet you need to run Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that ships with Exchange 2013. 
    But when I tried to run the script as described on the technet article, I found it always fails with " the accepted domain is not valid"
    I have checked my accepted domains many times and i found that there's no issues with my configured accepted domain. 
    So I started to review the script to find the issue and I found that the script was configured  as below 
    $acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain ;
      if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
        WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
      $acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
      if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
      else
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true; 
    which is totally wrong as below: 
    firstly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the Name of the accepted domain. 
    Not all customers configure the name of the Accepted Domain to be the Domain Name.
    Secondly  it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the name of the first Accepted Domain.
    The first domain may be not the default Accepted Domain. 
    So I have configured the script as below
    $acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ? {$_.Default -eq "True"}  ;
      if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
        WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
      $acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains.DomainName;
      if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
      else
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true; 
    I hope This help.

  • Is smb 3.0 already supported for exchange 2013

    Hello,
    We are looking to deploy exchange 2013. We have a netapp storage and vmware environment.
    I was wondering if smb 3.0 is already supported for exchange 2013. I read in a blog of 2012 that it wasn't supported at the time. We would like to use it instead of a iscsi lun.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, it is still not supported for Exchange 2013 up to now.
    Here is an article for your reference, please refer to the "Exchange storage requirements" section.

  • It is there an alternative to the Test-SystemHealth powershell cmdlet for Exchange 2013?

    Hello
    The Powershell cmdlet Test-SystemHealth, that was available on Exchange 2010, is no longer available on Exchange 2013.
    Test-SystemHealth cmdlet gathered data about the Microsoft Exchange system and analyzed the data according to best practices.
    Are there any alternatives to this for Exchange 2013?
    Thanks!

    Haven't really played with it too much, but check out Get-ServerHealth
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj218703(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Looks to have replaced Test-SystemHealth.

    I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

    However, we can connect to Exchange server using remote shell.

  • Transport agent for Exchange 2013

    Hello!
    I write transport agent for Exchange 2013 and I have two questions:
    1. How I can determine is AD OU of recipient different from OU of sender?
    2. How I can change routing of message from internal to external for such recipient.
    Thanks in advance

    1. You can't get that information from within a Transport Agent directly so you need to either use LDAP to lookup the sender (which from a performance point of view isn't a wonderful idea) or some form of cache etc.
    2. You can use a routing override to do this see
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/appssrv/archive/2009/08/26/how-to-control-routing-from-your-own-routing-agent.aspx for an example

  • Security Update for exchange 2013 SP1 (KB3040856) failed mid-way / power problem mailbox server disconnected

    While applying todays security update for exchange 2013 (KB3040856) there was a power issue (sad story) and the update was interrupted halfway through.  A bunch of service were left deactivated and I beleive I brought them back.
    At this point the exchange admin center brings me to the login and when I do login, I get an enable to display page msg after the login.
    I have an ActiveSync error log  "cannot access the mailbox because the mail box server is disconnected"  translated from french.
    I also have ASP.NET 4.0 error "MapiExceptionMdbOffline"
    What could be the next step in fixing this if it is at all possible ?  I am not an expert in cmdlet but can manage if pointed in the right direction.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I ran update KB3040856, and it disabled all Exchange services, and a few others besides (IIS and filtering). I ran the test-servicehealth cmdlet and eventually got all the services set to automatic and all running.
    This is really a stupid thing for an update to do, what is going on? Exchange 2013 is trouble enough already, we really do not need this sort of agro.

  • Enable legacy public folders for Exchange 2013 prior to migration?

    We're about ready to migrate to Exchange 2013 from 2010. We have a public folder database on 2010 that users can't see once migrated to 2013. If I run through the commands according to the technet article "Configure legacy public folders where user
    mailboxes are on Exchange 2013 servers" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690134(v=exchg.150).aspx), will users who's mailboxes are still on Exchange 2010 be able to see these public folders?

    I know they've made alot of changes recently in how legacy public folders are handled in Exchange 2013 (mostly CU7), but I haven't had to do anything more than just setting the proper public folder database on the Exchange 2013 databases.
    That being said, looking over the article you are not doing any moves, and it looks eerily similar to this blog post:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/11/07/on-premises-legacy-public-folder-coexistence-for-exchange-2013-cumulative-update-7-and-beyond.aspx
    So I don't think this would hurt Public Folder access for your users in your legacy environment.
    Did you deploy CU7?  If so, then do what both articles say.  If not try using Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity <2013 db name> -PublicFolderDatabase <PF DB NAME>
